The Look Backstage: Burberry Prorsum 2012 Spring Collection

Makeup was Classic Burberry: effortless

Mixing Burberry Cosmetics Foundation with Fresh Glow illuminator
for a sheer, dewy coverage. Brows were slightly sculpted to their natural shape.

A wash of color was added to lids: Eyeshadow in Taupe Brown & Almond
A hint of shimmering beige Pale Barley was dusted onto inner corners
Tulip shade lipstick donned lips (a tawny pink hue)

Hair was sprayed with Bumble and Bumble prep lotion & Styling Spray

Strands of hair was diffused resulting in natural texture

Hair was spritzed with Bb Shine Spray and with the use of a ceramic
curling iron were slightly curled at ends so hair did not lie flat
but appeared to have been tossed by a gentle gust of wind.

The Look Backstage: Oscar de la Renta 2012 Spring Collection

Sections of hair wrapped around long pins in a zigzag pattern

Hairs were unleashed from the pins then immediately clamped with a hot iron

Hair was then brushed out for a very fluffy finish

For a 70ish look hair was parted in the middle and then
pinned back at top

Makeup was kept to a minimal and focused on skin

Skin was prepped with Rose Day Cream (Dr. Hauschka) and its Regenerating Serum, this aided Revlon's Age Defying Spa Illuminator in Pink Lights and its Illuminance Creme Shadow in Not Just Nude melt into the skin. Matte Eye Shadow in Rich Sable and Eye Shadow in Moonlit (both Revlon) was layered onto lids, eyes were then dotted with clear gloss from Westman's limited-edition gloss palette in Bordeaux in the Snow, lashes were lined with Grow Luscious Lash Liner in Espresso (Revlon) for definition. For the brows, Brow Fantasy in Dark Blonde and Brunette were used to strengthen arches before brushing to complete the fresh no-makeup makeup look.
